off the ocean.” Goran replied.
    Anna peeked through the hole again. A little older than Branko, Goran was the spitting image of his brother. They had the same jet-black hair and chocolate brown eyes, and both seemed to think the bushy unkempt moustache was a good look for them.
    But perhaps most shocking was that Wendy was already cheating on her husband and it was their wedding night. The low morals the woman seemed to have suggested she might actually have been more than willing to kill her own father. After all, she did blame him for the misery she endured for six long years in foster care. Who is to say she didn’t plan to take the money and give herself a long vacation away from her husband with his brother?
    “I love you.” Goran leaned in to kiss her again.
    “Thank you.” Wendy smiled.
    Anna was taken aback. An affair on the wedding night with the brother of the groom, but she couldn’t return a simple I love you. There was more to this affair than meets the eye. Perhaps the brother was a pawn in some other scheme she had up her sleeve.
    It was at that moment she stopped and caught herself. Anna remembered the last time she saw a couple kissing and jumped to conclusions. It almost ended her career and she knew she needed to avoid confronting anyone before she was absolutely certain. If there was an affair going on between them, it was for them to deal with, not her. She needed to focus on the things that actually mattered right now, like finding out who killed Charles.
    Walking carefully, she made her way back toward the hotel. She wanted to become lost in the stars again as she walked, but curiosity weighed heavily on her mind. She wanted to talk to Wendy again and see if she could get her to open up more. Maybe she could get some honest answers out of her later on.
    As she approached the outdoor pool, she noticed a couple of men sitting by the water. Their voices were low and their arms were darting around frantically. Even though she knew she shouldn’t, Anna approached the fence and crouched behind a bush to see if she could get a better idea of what was going on. After all, it could point her in the right direction to find out who the killer was.
    “Are you sure you managed to cover everything up?” the first man asked.
    “I’ve taken care of everything.” the second man replied. “You need to understand that I’ve dealt with these things for years. You don’t have anything to worry about.”
    “What about long term security?” pressed the first man. “What do you have planned for that? I need to know what all of my options are. No one can ever find out about this. You don’t know the trouble it would cause.”
    “I’ve been doing this for years, you just need to calm down.” the second man responded. “The more you let this eat at you, the worse it is going to get. You need to be careful is all.”
    The first man turned his head. He looked past where Anna was crouched and kept searching that area. She recognized his face. It was Branko. The second man turned his head to see what Branko was looking at. His head was bald and his eyes were tiny. A scar ran across the right side of his face and he looked dangerous.
    “What are you looking for?” demanded the bald man.
    “I thought I heard someone.” Branko replied. “I don’t need my wife finding out about this either.”
    “No one will find out about it.” the bald man snapped. “If they do, we’ll take care of it. I’m not worried about it at all so don't you worry either.”
    Anna decided she had heard enough and crept along the hedges on her way back to the hotel.
    Carelessly, she stepped on a stick and it snapped beneath her foot. “Who’s there?” She heard the bald man shout.
    As they knocked over their chairs and ran for the gate, Anna ran along the bushes. Hearing their shouts as they pushed the gate open, Anna knew if she was caught, she’d be dead. Inhaling deeply, she continued to push as fast as she could for
